Nara is the capital of Japan’s Nara Prefecture, in south-central Honshu. The city has significant temples and artwork dating to the 8th century, when it was Japan’s capital. Deer roam in Nara Park, site of Tōdai-ji temple. Daibutsu, Tōdai-ji’s 15m-high bronze Buddha, is displayed in a large wooden hall. On the park’s east side is the Shinto shrine Kasuga Taisha, which dates to 768 A.D. and more than 3,000 lanterns.
Nara’s over 1000 deer have become a symbol of the city and have even been designated as a natural treasure. Deer crackers are for sale around the park, and some deer have learned to bow to visitors to ask to be fed. Nara’s deer are surprisingly tame, although they can be aggressive if they think you will feed them, so make sure not to tease them with food.

What a memorable time!
Que legal! Esse lugar é perto ou longe de Tóquio?
How nice! Is this place near or far from Tokyo?
It doesn't matter how many times you visited Nara, this place is always stunning!
thanks for sharing.
BTW, have you seen any of these skinny deers that are recently shown on social media?
apparently, some of the deers got addicted to biscuits and cannot eat anything else now. Therefore, as tourists are less they kinda starve now…..pretty sad.
Nice fresh video of Nara deer
